TEMECULA, Calif. – (July 11, 2016) – Aracely Maela of Murrieta had a hard time believing her good luck on Sunday, July 10 during a recent visit to Pechanga Resort & Casino. She had several entry tickets deposited into the casino’s “Summer Splash” drawing for cash and a brand new Acura MDX SUV. However, she never thought her name would be the one called over the loudspeaker. After the initial cash drawings were over, it came time for casino officials to announce the name of the guest who would win the shiny new, cream-colored Acura MDX.

“When I heard my name, I thought it was a prank,” said Maela. “They told me it was real, I thought I was going to flip out!” The technical specialist from the Temecula Valley area was all smiles as she posed for photos in front of her brand new, $44,000 ride.
